WHAT IS A SUPERHERO?
A distinctive costume; often used to conceal the secret identity. The center of every human spiritual or intellectual journey is a quest for ever-lasting paradise, for, as a whole, “humanity has lost its original paradise and wants to be restored to it.” At the core of every superhero myth from that of Batman and Superman to that of Spiderman and Spawn is a tragic loss; be it a loss of homeland, life, love or peace.
WHAT IS A VILLAIN?
Villain is an attitude. Villain is a philosophy, a way of life. Villain is an identity. Villain is an adjective as well as a noun. Villain describes an individual who possesses certain character traits, and who creates for themselves a reality that is more than just a mere existence. Villain is greatness. Villain is ascension. Villain is humility despite the capability of dominance of others. Villain is perpetual subscription to the belief that boundaries are self imposed, that you can always become better, stronger, more knowledgeable, and more valuable to your pack.
Villain is the refusal to accept defeat. Villain is the knowledge that no man can be your superior unless you let them. Villain is the rejection of the mold that is put forth by society to artificially shape you. Villain is the refusal to yield to the notion that you are wrong for being you. Villain means being you at all costs. Villain is here. Become Villain.
